Yea, you are likely right. I see dual core procs as an<br>
interim step. HT technology has been around a while.<br>
Why it took processors so long to support the bus<br>
technology I have no idea. Nvidia used HT back on<br>
the old Geforce2 MX 4X AGp. before AMD did on their<br>
processors, and it is their technology as U pointed out! :)<br><br>
But it is here, and along with it, the price tag. Hammer<br>
processors next, ultimately we may get to MOBO's that are<br>
5"x5" with all integrated interfaces, elimination of NB/SB
chips...<br>
We have a ways to go.<br><br>
All I know, is the constant change keeps me poor. ;-)<br><br>

Also all AMD MB's support HyperTransport as its the core<br>
interface. To what extent its used to NUMA / interlacing does<br>
vary however but most OS's aren't NUMA aware so it does little<br>
or no good.<br>
